General Hospital September 2021 Discussion Thread
I have been saying this show is complete shít for literal years, sir, and that is entirely the fault of its executive producer, not "network higher-ups". You will not catch me defending GH in the last however many years because no matter how many times it has a few bright spots it is largely dogshit and has been, with brief good times for a year or two here or there, for the better part of two decades. The last time GH was humming for me was in stretches of 2012-13, and even then it was full of serious issues and bad stories.

And Kasie Hunt has been mocked relentlessly all night and her negative ratio is at 2K and climbing.

Blake Hounshell is Politico through and through. Their alumni are largely reared by conservative groups/clubs from school to career and most of their contacts are the 'sane, sober fiscal conservative' GOP. The reason they carry water for the GOP at all times and try to act like another version of the party exists is because, as has been enumerated by other critics in the past, the Beltway pundits prefer to believe the supposedly 'sensible' Republicans they know in DC as friends and colleagues are the real base of the party vs. the racist, deranged base that actually exists and holds majority office today.

I think the photoshoot homage was a good idea. I think her expression is goofy and not working for the intent, even in camp/parody.

This will keep happening in tight races (which this was not). It happened in GA and it will happen again.

Kasie Hunt has been rationed into oblivion in record time. She's had such a far fall so quickly.

DAYS: Something Wicked This Way Comes
I'm sorry, I have liked Ari Zuker in better years but there is no way Nicole can lead a gigantic Possession revisit in the year of our Lord 2021. But yes, they should go back to Aremid. I dug Aremid.

It's a nice idea but VK's expression is one for the books. Where is she looking??

I'd never seen those. How cute (and classy of Sherry, who was in hot in primetime on NYPD Blue/ER by this time, to do it).

Having watched a fair bit of that time I think people give Elizabeth Dennehy's Blake too much criticism around here just because most of us adore Stringfield's. Dennehy wasn't as conventionally beautiful as Sherry, but she had a very arch, dark strength and also physically resembled Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Blake was a very distinct character with both Dennehy and Stringfield in the role but became nothing almost as soon as they recast with Liz Keifer, IMO.

I think both SSH and Robin came back to their respective shows feeling pressured to compete with either the tone of the show (Hayes) or in Robin's case, the network expectations. I've said for a long time that I think being cut by JFP traumatized Robin and that she came back determined never to be made to leave the show she loved again, and that she'd prove her worth by going hard and going big every single day so the brass would notice her effort. She did good work after returning in 2003, but she too often had about two speeds and rarely calmed down or went quiet. I'll always love Robin, but it hurt her performance.- DAYS: Something Wicked This Way Comes
It should be someone else or multiple people. It should not be Marlena again, but probably will be.- B&B September 2021 Discussion Thread
